Oliver Gudzowski "I feel the overwhelming need to do something to promote a non-hierarchical and non-binary coexistence on this planet" - carraro caterina "For identities defined by to whom one is romantically or sexually attracted, see sexual identity and sexual orientation. Gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender. Gender identity can correlate with a person's assigned sex at birth or can differ from it. Gender expression typically reflects a person's gender identity, but this is not always the case. While a person may express behaviors, attitudes, and appearances consistent with a particular gender role, such expression may...

Simon Kimmel Mapping her and my vulnerability. It reminds me. Of when My flatmate had to go to the hospital during the pandemic. He had a lump in his throat. And he was in pain. We rushed to the hospital. And when I came back home, I felt the urge to go to his room and document the moment. A potato growing in its little pot. A painting by Yuval Frisch facing the unmade bed. A mask hanging from the bedsight light. And I have never shown the photographies to anyone. Just the fact that there is a mask hanging...

Camilla Boß, Beke Bucking With our mapping we attempt to depict an intuitive and temporally indeterminate spatial perception. At three locations in Berlin, Mariannenplatz, Kotti and Tempelhofer Feld, we play the game "I see what you don't see", which usually refers to colours. Instead of colours, we express perceptions and sensitivities; guessing is used to describe the inner and outer space which surrounds us - on the one hand, therefore, the depiction of a normality and, on the other hand, the negotiation, relation and process of a normal condition. fem_arc · fem_arc STUDIO II: I see what you don't see

Philipp Preiß, Karla Vandon, Josephine Harold if normal is something subjective which describes a certain constellation of things, we know… …now, in the pandemic we seem to be more aware of changes and seem to have a larger perception of change in the sense of how it used to be and how it is now, all agreeing not on what is normal but that right now it is not. if we then see the normal as something that is constantly changing, we could abandon this term and accept the constant state of none-normal... to see this crisis as an eye...

Jordan Paul, Maria Arez, Nursena Yildiz, Vicente Mateus mappingsafetywise... Urban/Pedestrian safety is still something that varies from person to person. We are not going back to normal. We are just going back to the streets. Mapping perceptions through the senses of two different people. Different genders. Different backgrounds. Different religions. Different languages. Two characters walking alone in Berlin. Same route. Two ways. Day. Night. The rules were to experience the urban block, the urban park, and public transportation while recording it all. _People _Interactions _Buildings _Noises _Smells _Sights Traveling across Berlin from Neuköllnto Charlottenburg and back was overall a nice...

Madlen Burton This project focuses on the side effects of the pandemic both in public and private space. After mapping my own side effects and how the places I was in effected how I felt. I created an instruction map for anyone else to map their own side effects. Even though this experience has been personal to each of us I believe that many of us have felt the same throughout the last year, however, sharing experiences and feelings sometimes still feels like a boundary. The map directs all the feelings we took upon us during the pandemic and symbolises...

Jeanne Astrup-Chauvaux, Oliver Gudzowski, Philipp Preiß In the past year, the contrasted feeling of having a fluid mind locked (down) in a static body, opened new horizons for dreams, highlighting their renewed importance in our daily lives, and even the possibility of their physical implementation in the spaces we know too well. Through this semi-fiction we decided to map personal strategies that we developed in the past months, and that helped us escape repetitive spatial and social situations. Through the use of fiction and physical transformations of our surroundings, we explored dreamt spaces - which weren't that fictional in the...

Yarden Cohen and Roi Dwek The digital space that replaces the physical one The glass enclosure is an instrument of representation, allowing us to express emotions during times of social distance through the physicality of the digital medium We can Imagine how we re-populate space that were captured empty during the lockdown “filling in the missing blanks” re-inhabiting movement. Our daily routine has altered, The mirror-screen projects ourselves into each other spaces, arranged in columns and rows, minimizing overlapping, still not touching. How does social media embodies closeness when the latter is absent "Isolation and loneliness are not the same,...

Paloma Xenia and a fellow student We feel that these spaces made of tape feel like a limit to us. Our daily life in Berlin is currently limited by Corona. But this barrier also helps protect others and us. An experience that we didn’t know and had never experienced before. Now we wear masks in the supermarkets, on the shopping streets, on the train. By keeping our distance, we can no longer see family and friends as we used to. We have to be flexible in a different way . We don´t meet all in one place like the university, but we meet us in a virtual space....
